NAPLAN TRAINING PROGRAM
Every year all Australian students in years 3, 5, 7 and 9 sit the Numeracy Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy test. This test is designed to help parents, carers and educators to see if children are meeting important numeracy and literacy standards.
Our NAPLAN programs are individualised to help each student and can help reduce the stress that both parents and students experience in preparation for this test. Students grow in self-confidence as they gain the tips and strategies to achieve the best possible result.
As with our Selective School/Scholarship Training Program, we have a strong focus on building content knowledge. Our tutors work on building students’ content knowledge in conjunction with practice in specific NAPLAN style questions.
